Russian Reversal 

Share definition Flag
The Russian Reversal is a debating and argumentative tactic developed by the USSR during the twentieth century. A tool described as being able to end and subsequently win any discussion, its original intent was to stupefy capitalist dogs by inverting the sentence and introducing a new prepositional phrase, thus obfuscating the topic and allowing the debater to take control and bury his opponent. Its execution is as simple as it is lethal: the subject and direct object of the sentence in question are reversed, the sentence is preceded with "in Soviet Russia" and all sentences are shifted into the second person.

This is because Soviet Russia is a wondrous land of complete automation and bizarre reversal of ordinary American events and situations. Imagine your wonder when, upon calling a taxi, you discover that here in Soviet Russia, taxi calls YOU!!

Russian Reversal is essentially a sentence reversed.

Example.
In America, you shoot heroin.
In Soviet Russia, Heroin shoots YOU!!

To write Russian Reversal, use this simple template.
In Soviet Russia, (noun) (transitive verb)s YOU!!
Dave:
"In Soviet Russia, definition writes YOU!!
In Soviet Russia, hooker pays YOU!!
In Soviet Russia, bong hits YOU!!
In Soviet Russia, Russian reverses YOU!!"
